چکیده
A 26-year-old man was admitted for follow-up after VSD closure without any symptoms. Echocardiography showed a mobile mass of the tricuspid valve (Fig. 1). The peduncu-lated ball-shaped mass was attached to the anterior leaflet of the tricuspid valve (Fig. 2). Histopathological examination revealed an organized thrombus without any tumor components. Fig. 1. Preoperative transthoracic echocardiography imaging. A free-floating ball-shaped mass (15 mm in diameter) is attached to the anterior leaflet of the tricuspid valve. Fig. 2. Intraoperative view showing the thrombus. The ball-shaped mass attached to the anterior leaflet of the tricuspid valve by a stem.
